| Chow Yun-Fat (of Hong Kong action film fame and "Replacement Killers") is
cool. Cooler than 007 (I'd give him a 009 on the cool scale) but in a Clint
Eastwood, not spy/gadgetry, kind of way. more |

| As far as I know, Chow Yun Fat is the most charismatic man alive. If I was
smart when I was a kid, I would have trained to become Chow Yun Fat as an
adult. If there were some way I could pay money to actually become Chow Yun
Fat, I'd probably be saving...more |

| The Corruptor promises a mix of Hong Kong style action with a gritty New
York cop drama, and it partially delivers each. The action sequences
are entertaining, but not electric; the drama is interesting, but hardly
original. more |

| Chow Yun Fat continues his American invasion of sorts in the
action/drama flick The Corruptor. This time, he's part of a squad of
cops in Chinatown that's been put on task to investigate a gang on the
rampage. All's well until a new office in the...more |

| /The Corruptor/, Chow Yun-Fat's second and latest American effort is
better than the first, /The Replacement Killers/, in terms of plot and
character development but is lacking in terms of action and pacing. more |

| Despite being proclaimed as one of the coolest actors in the world,
Chow Yun-Fat's first Hollywood picture, The Replacement Killers, failed
to have the desired impact. However, his latest, The Corruptor,
reassures Chow's coolness factor. more |

| "The Corruptor" is a mixture of Hong Kong arcade-action cinema and Sydney
Pollack-esque New York crime drama, and what's surprising is that the hybrid
seems to work. It concerns two New York City detectives -- played by Chow
Yun- Fat and Mark Wahlberg...more |

Incredibly, out of the wreckage stumbles a survivor, alive, but not for
long. Four Oriental youths with assault weapons finish the job that they
had obviously started. Such is life in...more |
